If you can solve this for me, I would be so friggin' grateful.

The microphones on my headsets (I have two) work, but only slightly. That is, they pick up my voice but barely transfer it. It is soooo quiet. *STOP RIGHT THERE*, before you say, "is your volume turned up?". I swear, trying to find answers to this issue online has been annoying because the only answer anyone seems to give to microphone issues is, "make sure your volume/mic isn't muted and turned up." So...

- In Sound and Audio Devices, ALL volumes are up and nothing is muted.
- I've had this issue with the onboard audio and a cheap sound card (bought just to test this issue).
- I've had this issue with two seperate microphones (that I know work).
- I've tried both mics in the rear and front mic jacks.
- I've made sure the device is set up properly in Device Manager (no yellow exclamation points/question marks).
- As far as I know, all of my drivers, bios, chipset, etc. are up to date.

I just have this feeling that I'm overlooking something simple. If any of you have any suggestions what so ever (except, "is it muted") I would be excited to hear them. I'm just getting tired of people that I'm talking to online saying, "I can barely hear you, turn up your mic."

Thanks in advance!!

Let me know if you need any more info. My rig is in my sig.
